>We have it insofar as it would still be a deterministic system
Again, can you please explain what you mean by determinism in this context? In what way is it deterministic?
>Furthermore, quantum probabilism loses much of its power once we talk about complex, big objects. While it is true that we cannot fully predict the motion of an electron, we can predict the motion of bodies as big as human ones with a high degree of certainity
I'm pretty sure this assertion has been refuted in the OP. Indeed, if I decide to base my behavior on quantum observations, then as the quantum observation cannot be predicted, by extension my large-scale behavior will be impossible to predict.

Let's say I recognize that all football matches follow a certain distribution and thus I assign probabilities to certain events happening in football. It turns out that my probabilistic assessments are empirically correct and coincide with what actually happens. Does that mean that the football matches are all rigged in advance, i.e. the results are predetermined way before the match?
This hardly seems to be the case. Or at least, I don't see a reason why such a belief would be justified.

>A system cannot prove itself. Like using a self-referential statement to prove itself.
Hmmm yes, but how is that relevant to what I'm saying?

Don't you mean removed?

Haha yeah I'm sure you came to this conclusion based on rational examination of the evidence and not based on the fact that all the media is screaming 24/7 about the evil white supremacy and how acknowledging anything related to the biological reality of race makes you an evil nazi.

This thread seems like a good place to ask: what words rhyme with "tigger"? I'm writing a poem and having difficulty with this.
